Well it looks like I've open a can of worms. When taking my dump cylinder out part of it stayed inside. It seem there was a post by Steve where a similar thing happen to him. I was unable to find the post. The whole valve assembly will have to be replaced. The rod is pitted with rust and bottom half broke and stayed inside housing. I would like to try to get it out if possible without cutting the sewer pipe. There is no working room in this bay. Either that or just put the thing back together and hope parts of it does not float into the holding tank. I plan to get as much as I can out.
A new valve assembly is about $160.00 and if it comes to that I don't mind paying that. I would probably put the new one on the other side that is used all the time. I am sure the problem with this one is that it was never used.
I noticed that all three valves have caulking around the top. I would think the new O rings would would take care of any leaking?? Maybe at one time they were serviced without new O rings. This is not my day.
